hey all,

a recent reply on a thread on here got me thinkin?
the old adage of 'how long is a piece of string' has never really been established or has it?
so with enuff brain cells mushed together on here maybe this adage can be answered thus enlighten everyone with 'how long is a piece of string'

my answer:
the same distance as it takes a week to walk a fortnight.

any one else want to tackle this unanswered question?

btw you ppl people you clicked on this thread for cheap smut i say, well i woulda clicked here as well.. :P

A length of a piece of string is precisely double the length of it after it has been folded in half...😂

Its as long as from point A to point B
sometimes if you fold it in half then its only half as long
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

but if you fold it in half then there is the distance of the turn around - so half aint exactly half

could, but depends on how the join was made. What I find most frustrationg is the question h posted does not specify if the string is standard string or silly string.

I think he died. And of course it is only as long as you want it to be which is usuall just short of long enough! If that makes sense.

It depends what colour the string is.
